Arabic edition. A visually rich, expert-guided introduction to Islamic craft traditions—geometry, ornament, materials, and the ideas that shaped one of history’s most influential design cultures.

(Short, clean, sells the value to non-Arabic readers even if they can’t read Arabic, because it signals it’s a design/culture artifact worth owning.)
